Schedule and Delay/Acceleration Analysis
Delays on construction projects can result in increased costs and lost opportunities for the project participants. Risks are high and allegations of liability must be addressed. Retaining an experienced consultant to evaluate the construction process of a distressed project and offer opinions regarding causes for delay and determining liability can be crucial to a favorable resolution.
Schedule Analysis
The professionals at Navigant Consulting have extensive experience with project scheduling and schedule analysis. We perform a thorough analysis of the as-planned and as-built schedules and project records to determine the cause of each delay and isolate the impact of delays for which the different parties on the project – owner, architect/engineer, construction manager, general contractor and subcontractors – are responsible. With decades of experience across a variety of projects, our professionals have gained significant insight working with records typically found on construction projects, including design data, change order information, requests for information, material quantity and manpower reports, production productivity studies, and scheduling data.

Critical Path Methodology (CPM)
Navigant Consulting uses Critical Path Methodology (CPM) and other network-based scheduling tools to identify and quantify delays that effect project completion. Our professionals have extensive experience in preparing and analyzing as-planned and as-built schedules and use these analytical tools to evaluate a project's critical path. Our analysis focuses on an objective assessment and effective quantification of project impacts, and our summary of project issues and delays provides clients with a realistic assessment of potential liability.
Augmenting Cost Analysis
When both schedule and cost analyses are required on an engagement, close coordination between these disciplines is critical. Navigant Consulting is unique in that we provide seasoned expertise in both of these areas. Since our professionals are familiar with the work performed and techniques used by both disciplines, we can effectively coordinate and augment schedule and cost analyses.
